Best Restaurants in St. Moritz (2023 Edition)
St. Moritz call themselves “Top of the World” and once you arrive you completely understand why. Everything is a little bit extra in St. Moritz and everyone is a little more ostentatious than they are back home once they arrive. All the tourists flocking to Engadin and especially to St. Moritz have made it possible for so many delicious restaurants to open up in such a small space.
Every time I spend a couple of days in St.Moritz I gain a couple of Kg and it’s really not surprising as my favourite local dishes are Pizzoccheri (basically pasta with cheese and potatoes), Rösti and generally all the super cozy mountain food.
Below you will find a list of my personal all time favourite restaurants, some in town, some around St. Moritz and some on the ski slopes. You can’t go to St. Moritz without hiking/skiing/ taking a ski lift up the mountain and enjoying a lunch outside in the sun. I really hope you enjoy them!
Restaurant Bellavista
Restaurant Bellavista is the perfect spot if you want to have a nice lunch outside or a cozy dinner inside. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is really nice. The staff is not as nice as they could be but the food and place make up for it.
